Time 3h30m

Yield Six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

6 garlic cloves
15 fresh sage leaves or 2 tablespoons dry sage
8 tablespoons olive oil
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon kosher salt
Freshly ground pepper to taste
6 pounds lean brisket of beef
2 garlic cloves, slivered
1 large onion, sliced
4 cups chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
2 pomegranates or 2 pounds small seedless grapes (see note)
Parsley for garnish

Steps:

  • Place the garlic cloves, sage, six tablespoons of oil, the vinegar, lemon juice, kosher salt and freshly ground pepper in a food processor. Process until all the ingredients are finely chopped.
  • Place the meat in a roasting pan. With a knife make several incisions in the meat and insert the slivers of garlic. Then pour the marinade over the meat. Cover the pan with foil and refrigerate overnight.
  • The following day, heat the remaining two tablespoons of oil in a pan large enough to hold the meat. When the oil is hot, add the sliced onion and saute them until they are lightly golden. Remove the meat from the marinade and brown on all sides over high heat. Then add the marinade, chicken stock, two cups of water, soy sauce and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for two and one-half hours or until the meat is easily pierced with a fork. Remove the meat from the pan and cool.
  • Meanwhile, degrease the sauce. Then cut the pomegranates in two and remove the seeds. Add the seeds to the meat sauce.
  • Slice the meat and return to the saucepan. Reheat gently.
  • With a spatula, remove the meat to a large platter. Pour some sauce with pomegranate over the meat. Garnish with parsley and serve the remaining sauce in a gravy boat.
